Memento

Materials: Balsa wood, blue paint, gold paint
Dimensions: 3 1/4" x 2" x 1/2"

I glued two pieces of wood together and cut them to make the oval form. I spent a long time sanding
the piece in order to create the extremely smooth texture.

I indented the soft wood with the head of a nail and filled each indentation with the blue and gold paint.

I created this memento in honor of the first time I met my favorite singer, Adam Young. I spent days making this light-up sign on foam board that spelled "Owl City" and painted it blue and green and included song lyrics. His bus driver noticed my sign who told his manager about it and she approached me to see if I wanted a quick picture and for him to sign it, since it looked like I spent a lot of effort on creating the sign. I spent four years trying to meet him, which is why there are four dots on each side. In total, there are eight dots, which represents how many years I have loved his music for, as of now. I will always remember this moment as being the single most important one in my life because I have admired him so much over these years and he and his music have gotten me through very difficult times in my life. It meant so much to me that my hard work and dedication paid off, so I wanted to represent the joy I felt with a smooth texture and repetition of the dots to represent the lights and the times I kept trying over and over to finally meet my idol. This piece is extremely personal to me, as it represents the greatest moment of my life.

The sign in which my piece is inspired.

Identity

Materials: Cardboard, feathers
Dimensions: 12" in diameter

I chose to create a "mask" made of brown feathers to represent owls. My favorite singer is Owl City and many people always ask me about him or think of me when they hear him. I am proud to be associated with such an incredible artist and I wanted to have owl feathers on my mask to represent him. I had the photograph taken outside in nature because of my love for the outdoors and the wildlife within it. I am a huge advocate of saving the planet and I feel happiest when outside exploring nature. I am posed with my arms covering me because I am introverted and wanted to give the impression of being reserved. The shape of the "mask" is also intentional; I created it in a perfect circle to represent the shape of a full moon because I also love space (and anything associated with it) and feel a deep connection to the unknown aspects of it. I edited the images in an old-fashioned manner because I feel like I have an "old" soul and enjoy anything antique. I also wanted to create more of an eerie feeling, as I love the paranormal and anything that looks creepy.

I cut a circle out of cardboard and covered one side with feathers. I attached a headband
to the other side in order to wear the piece.

Floating Architecture

Materials: Cardboard, black tape, black paint
Size: 14 1/2" x 12" x 29"

I cut arches in the cardboard to represent the Gothic style; the base of the sculpture is in a
triangle to represent the pyramidal shape in Egypt.

I glued many pyramids that I made out of cardboard and painted black to
represent both Egypt and Gothic architecture.

The final product contains elements of both Gothic and Egyptian styles: the pyramids
and triangular shapes for Egypt and the arches, black color, and taped windows for Gothic. I wanted to portray
angular shapes and combine them in a random, yet sophisticated way. I feel the creation of the Gothic windows
made the overall piece more successful and added more details. I wanted the lines to be very clean-cut
and sharp because the details that both time periods used were very important to them.
